Barbara Butler

xx xx, xxxx - xx xx, xxxx

Born and raised in North London, Barbara was a free-spirited, intelligent, and fiercely independent lady who lived in Colchester, Essex for most of her life. She spent most of her career at a local newspaper as a feature writer, but later became a published author, and a tour guide for her beloved home City of Colchester, where she was well-known locally and would guide people around the Castle and Roman walls.

Condoleances

So sad to hear this. We have lost Barbara far too soon. I will miss her friendly, lively, intelligent, knowledgeable and stimulating presence which I enjoyed far too infrequently. My condolences to close friends and family.
